Combustion of Naphthalene
C10H8 + 12O2 → 10CO2 + 4H2O
Visão geral
Naphthalene burns with a very smoky, luminous flame characteristic of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Its high carbon content results in significant soot production. Naphthalene is the simplest polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) with two fused benzene rings.

Exemplo do cotidiano
Mothballs are made of naphthalene, which slowly sublimes to vapor. While they are not typically burned, the vapor is flammable.
Importância industrial
O naftaleno é utilizado para produzir anidrido ftálico (para plastificantes e resinas de poliéster), como repelente de traças e como intermediário químico.
